[R-sig-phylo] Phylogenetic network / ARG representation in ape

2021-05-18 Thread Yan Wong
Dear R-Sig-Phylo, I’m interested in representations of ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs). From my reading of the extended Newick format (G. Cardona et al., 2008), and the ape/evonet documentation, it appears as if the R-base representations of phylogenetic networks don't have a standard

Re: [R-sig-phylo] Error in Fitting OU Model in R

2021-05-18 Thread Emmanuel Paradis
Hi Russell , It can happen that PGLS models have difficulties to fit to the data when there is a free parameter in the correlation structure. This is the case of corMartins and corPagel. A way around is to set 'fixed = TRUE' when creating these correlation structures which has the effect of

Re: [R-sig-phylo] Fitting models with continous characteres

Dear Sim�n, Typically people do this by �painting� regimes on the tree using the discrete trait and then trying different OU models for the different regimes. For example, does being in the island regime lead to a higher rate of evolution (bigger sigma in the BMS model) than being in the
